Subversion plugin in eclipse has some issues for doing a svn cleanup of the folder. So, i thought of going to the terminal and running a svn cleanup but unfortunately that too doesn't work. I am getting the following error, looks like i need to upgrade svn client to 1.6
 
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'.  You need to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy.See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change for details.

    You can change svn format easily without upgrading subversion by using the python script from svn.collab.net Get the script from http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py
     
    Place the python script above the directory you want to switch svn version / format and execute as follows:-
     
    This will change the current subversion version in checked out directories to 1.6 format
    python ./change-svn-wc-format.py ./directory-name/ 1.6
     
    This will change the current subversion version to 1.5 format
    python ./change-svn-wc-format.py ./directory-name/ 1.5
     
    Now you can execute any svn commands you like for e.g svn cleanup. And once work is over, you can switch the format again.
